it is a primary election and we all get our vote. Unless the winner is a clear opponent of the majority of your views, I don’t know why you wouldn’t support the one that will do SOME of the things you feel are important. The other party is likely to offer NONE of the things you value. In addition, there is likely to be a Dem majority in both houses, basically rubbers stamping most legislation for a new Dem president. This includes judges.
Some of the things I feel are important, making me want to support a candidate
1. Get control of illegal immigration. No band aid fixes, no rewards for lawbreakers.
2. Support of our 2nd Amendment rights, with no compromise.
3. Tax reform. Get control of raiding the budget for pork barrel projects.
4. Right to life.
Any candidate who does not stand for those 4 principles is not worth of further consideration. I don’t know where I could find any compromise. Beyond those 4 issues, if supported by a candidate, every other important issue like liberal judges etc will fall in place.
But without those 4 abovementioned issues being at the top of a candidates platform, there is nothing else they can offer in appeasement.
Why is it that values voters are always the ones asked to compromise?
